The Defeated King

Once upon a time there lived a girl who had everything she ever wanted.
She had every toy she ever wanted and clothes from beyond the sea.
Yet she was innocent and humble as can be
She had blue eyes that sparkled and a smile that was bright
Her spirit was cheerful and light
But was soul was mysterious as the night
She had no boundaries and no one laid down any rules.
The world was at her finger tips and she knew of nothing cruel.
Her father was the King, the ruler of all the land
Hatred in his heart, be began his master plan
He knew of no wrong that she had done
Yet he wished instead that he could bare son
It was a warm summer night when it was to occur
She slept in her bed unaware of their lure
Quietly they captured the poor helpless child
And traveled hill after hill, mile after mile
The years went by without a word from the girl
Some thought she died some she lived
But the King was satisfied with what he did
He knew no love and had grace
The people of his land hated his face
They knew what he had done
How he kidnapped his daughter in a quest of a son
The people began to turn their backs
They wanted a ruler with grace and respect
A ruler courageous as a knight
They picked a fierce one to lead the fight
Soon the King was greatly defeated
And asked for mercy from the great dark knight
The knight took the throne and brought in his wife
The woman was beautiful and full of life
She was the daughter of the defeated King
